Security operatives killed in Kaduna by terrorists.

Terrorists killed some security operatives in an ambush on communities in Birnin Gwari Local Government area of Kaduna State on Sunday.

Confirming the incident to journalists via phone on Monday night, a local, Abubakar Kakangi said that the victims included operatives of the civil defense corps, police, soldiers, and local vigilantes. 

Kakangi said that although the bandits had an agreement with the affected communities of Kubau and Unguwan Zakaria which enabled the villagers to go to their farms, the security agents angered the bandits by killing a boy who herded their stolen cows for them.

Kakangi said, “However, the bandits usually passed through the villages to sell stolen cows which the security was not happy about. Three weeks ago, security killed a boy who was looking after their cattle. The bandits were not happy over the murder of the boy.”

“On Sunday  the bandits stormed  Aka security checkpoint along Birnin-Gwari to Kakangi/Randagi road of the Western part of Birnin-Gwari LGA.”

” The attack took place around 2:00 pm. The bandits divided themselves into two groups and carried out the attack simultaneously at the two villages where they killed scores of security personnel including the Civil Defence Corps, police, vigilante, and soldiers,” he said.

A report by SaharaReporters said the bodies of the victims were deposited at a Kaduna hospital.
